Cedar, Joshua (2017) Is the Cambodian Stegosaur-Like Carving Another Argument Creationists Should Not Use? Answers Research Journal, 10: 2. pp. 39-43. ISSN 1937-9056
One bas-relief carving from the 12th–13th century Ta Prohm temple in Angkor, Cambodia has become famous in the biblical creationist community as a possible artistic depiction of a recently living stegosaur. Despite its wide usage in young-earth creationist books, articles, and presentations as evidence for the recent coexistence of dinosaurs and man, there are a number of significant problems and questions surrounding the interpretation of the carving as a stegosaur. The objective of this paper is to review each of these issues, highlighting the difficulties with the stegosaur interpretation, and to caution creationist writers against using this artifact as evidence for the recent coexistence of dinosaurs and man.
